Mr.. r. w. Bringhurst of Rapides

tive of the Texas and Pacific rail-
way land department, in the field,
for the parishes of Rapides, Grant,
Winn, Catahoula, Vernon, Natchi-

engaged for the past year in locat-
ing lands for Messrs. Gould, Swayne
and other northern gentlemen and
has located over 400, 900 acres Of
the best pine lands in the South.
He speaks in high terms of the
value of these lands, and is conf
dent that our pineries will, in a
great measure, constitute the wealth
of the State. These lands, with
proper facilities to bring them int
the market, he thinks will pay theil
owners from $40 to $25 per acre
and will afford employment t.

Death OF mrs. u. w. IhOmpsOns
For some years past, suits against Mr..
Thompson have been pending IN the su-
preme court, for a settlement OF success
sion matter which has been in Mr..
Thompson's hands for many years Sew
eral decisions have been rendered, but all
previous seizures and attachments have
been stayed by instituting new suits, APP
peals and othor legal delays, until last
week, when final decision was rendered
against g. w. Thompson, which caused q
new seizure of the plantation and other
property, opposite Montgomery on Little
river. The amount involved is several
times the value of all the property seized.
When the papers containing the late de-
cision reached Mr.. Thompson on Thurs
day, and details were comprehended, Mrs.
Thompson at once began making prepa-
rations for her own burial, giving minute
directions respecting her clothing, coffin,
and place Of burial; after which, she took
the dose OF doses of morphine, which on
Friday night proved fatal. She was viGi.
ted by doctor on Friday, but she was 90
far gone that the medical science was una
vailing. It is currently believed here
that Col. Thompson is quite wealthy, but
his wealth must be shares of stocks OF
cash, as the plantation ETC., are the only
property available or seizable. Col
thompson is over seventy-five years oi
age, his wife some twenty years younger
They have no children. and few near kin
bred. Mrs. Thompson was Miss Burns
before marriage. LAAGEREAux.
